I'm not saying the leader of the Conservative party's approach to politics is infantile, but she's just defended her latest attack on the Chancellor by saying "she started it"

Some of us have been advocating this going back since chatGPT launched. It also has other benefits: correcting someone else's work is actually a really good way to learn something yourself.

There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.

It's not that no one's had an embarrassing meltdown of this intensity before it's just that no one with the wealth, influence and public visibility of a nation state has done it before.

This was a very popular tactic at my school... Until one year the PE teacher decided she'd had enough and made them all come in for an entire year's worth of catch-up lessons at a time of their choosing 😬
Pleased to say I used this cunning ploy to avoid swimming at secondary school for the entire 5 years I was there 😌🙏

I'm not averse to a hard-hitting storyline in soaps, but Emmerdale having a couple of very panto villains who are simultaneously international drug lords, forcing teenagers into sex work and operating a modern slavery ring feels completely absurd.
